OPENING RETREAT Session RECORDINGS
SESSION 1
Programme Opening Session
During this session we had a chance to connect into the intention of Nurturing Resilience and to share our hopes for the programme.
SESSION 2
Gentle Soul Flow Yoga and Intention Setting
A gentle movement focused session where we explored the body as a vehicle for our awakening. At the end we set intentions for the programme.
Suggested Action:
Take time to connect into your Sankalpa or intention for the programme, using the worksheet below and to really clarify what it is that matters to you, your hopes for the programme and to confirm your commitment to yourself.

SESSION 3
Building our safe group container
During this session we explored what it means to create a safe container for each of us. Some of the actions we agreed on:
We all agree to the following to hold a safe container:
To hold a confidential space
To not discuss anything shared by people in the space outside of that moment
To not comment on what people have shared (offering advice /opinions), rather to speak for how it made you feel
To practice active listening - without interrupting
To know that you don’t need to have the answers or strategies to fix or solve anything. You can just listen and bring your presence
To know that you can share as much or as little as you wish
To let the group know before sharing if you might be about to share potentially triggering insights or information - ‘trigger warnings’
We can use the word ‘ouch’ to say that we’d rather not share
SESSION 4
Masterclass - Self-Awareness
During this session we connected to The Soulshine Way - a roadmap for healing and transformation. We then began exploring the foundations of this roadmap and the importance of Self-Awareness and building a Mindfulness practice.
This session included a Mindfulness practice and setting a commitment for a daily meditation practice.

SESSION 5
Closing Session - Yoga Nidra & Intentions
A yummy and relaxing session to allow for integration of the day and to affirm intentions on a deep level through Yoga Nidra and the mantra Aham Prema meaning 'I am love' or 'I am Divine Love'.
Please note the electricity cut for a moment at the very end. We finished just a few moments after so you didn’t miss much - other than my surprised face!
